There must be something else wrong.

If I use the tags file and the custom filetype you provided here, I can successfully load the tags:
13:29:31.561147: Geany INFO             : Loaded /tmp/test.txt.tags (txt), 2 
symbol(s).

Maybe the whole output of Help->Debug Messages could give a hint.

Regards,
Enrico

    I've created a custom filetype named "txt" and saved your posted tags
    file and then I could load it successfully.

    So, I assume there is something wrong with your configuration.
    Could you post your filetype configuration for "txt"?
